The answer

STALE

What stale means

No longer fresh, either because it has been stored for too long or has lost its original quality, taste, or appeal.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English stale, originally meaning "standing" or "stationary," derived from Old French estale, which comes from a Germanic root related to Old High German stellen, meaning "to place" or "set." The sense shifted to describe bread or ale that had been left standing and thus lost its freshness, eventually extending to anything old or no longer new.
